Valwig

Valwig lies on the banks of the Moselle and is surrounded by vineyards. It is a picturesque village with a rich history and culture. The region is known for its wines, especially Rieslings from the steep slopes along the river.

One of the most important sights in Valwig is the 12th century St. Quirinus Chapel with its Romanesque frescoes. Another attraction are the ruins of Metternich Castle situated on a hill above the village.

Culturally, Valwig offers the annual wine festival "Weinfrühling" in April and the "Winzerfest" in August - both are a great opportunity to taste local wines and talk to locals.

For gourmets, Valwig has many culinary offerings such as traditional dishes like Saumagen or Leberknödeln (liver dumplings) as well as regional specialities like trout fillet or wild boar goulash.

The best times for outdoor activities in Valwig are spring to autumn: hike through the vineyards or cycle along the Moselle riverside path between Trier and Koblenz. For the adventurous, there is also canoeing and climbing nearby.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, Valwig offers indoor activities such as wine tasting or museum visits. For example, visit the Cochem-Zell Museum of Local History for an insight into the history of the region.

But the most beautiful thing about Valwig is its picturesque riverside location overlooking the steep vineyards - a breathtaking panorama at any time of year!
